Scope 2 emissions, based on the market-based method, were around 229,000 kg CO2e, while the location-based method indicated approximately 19.2 million kg CO2e. The largest contributor to Scope 3 emissions in this year was purchased goods and services, accounting for roughly 58.2 million kg CO2e, followed by business travel at about 12.5 million kg CO2e.

For 2023, Nasdaq's total emissions were approximately 107.8 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 75,100 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 106.8 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions, using the market-based approach, were about 962,000 kg CO2e, and the location-based figure was approximately 19.7 million kg CO2e. Purchased goods and services were the largest component of Scope 3 emissions, totalling nearly 70 million kg CO2e, with business travel at approximately 22.4 million kg CO2e.

Nasdaq has set ambitious climate targets, aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Key commitments include:

  • Net-Zero by 2050: Nasdaq aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2050, using a 2021 base year.
  • Scope 1 and 2 Reductions: The company pledges to achieve a 100% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030, relative to a 2021 baseline. This commitment extends to maintaining at least 100% absolute reductions from 2030 through 2050.
  • Scope 3 Reductions: Nasdaq is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 95% by 2050, with a 2021 base year. A near-term target includes a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2030 from the same 2021 base year.

Additionally, Nasdaq aims to ensure that 70% of its suppliers, by spend, covering purchased goods and services, and capital goods, will have set science-based targets by 2027. The company also commits to annually sourcing 100% renewable electricity through 2030.
